If you know any healthcare call center folks who lost their jobs so Big Health could save a buck - this may make you smile.

I have no idea how the bills will turn out after amendments, but the concept of that second one has my attention.

DATE: Thursday, November 2, 2023
TIME: 9:00 AM
PLACE: Room 326, House Office Building, Lansing, MI

AGENDA:

HB 5164 (Rep. O'Neal) Labor; other; registry of employers who relocate a call center to a foreign country; require the department of labor and economic opportunity to create.
HB 5165 (Rep. O'Neal) State management; other; denial of certain state economic development incentives for businesses listed on the registry; provide for.

OR ANY BUSINESS PROPERLY BEFORE THIS COMMITTEE

Added after 5 pm on Nov. 1: 

HB 4688 (Rep. Haadsma) Labor; collective bargaining; minimum staffing levels within a bargaining unit; make a mandatory subject of bargaining.

Food for thought -

Does this help the staff, the union, the corporation, the public, all of the above, or none of the above?

Choose all that apply.
